About this episode
We are on a mission to end suffering at work.
Bad work stories are everywhere - they are stressful - sucking our time, attention and precious energy, and for a lot of us, we take the stress home.
A great leader once said - “Be the change you want to see in the world “, and that's what we do here.
Each week, we take ONE Bad work story - and discuss:
- A Perspective for Everyone.
- A Perspective for Leaders, specifically
- One practical tool that you can apply today.
Take one or all three, and you can improve your Bad Work story today.
We must do something different if we want more joy and healthy collaboration in our teams and organisations. Take what resonates with you, and let us know how you get on.
This week, we explore what happens when you get a new leader whose leadership style is not your preference. What can you do?
Points covered
- How to play the game and stay in integrity.
- Conserving your cognitive and emotional energy - ie sleep at night.
- Go back to your secret organisational power
- Calling leadership peers to step up and support.
